Reader Comments on Best 5 Maple Syrups from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:15:22 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/food/maplesyrup I love maple syrup. I would love to try your winners products, but I support our local maple producers here in The Berkshires--particularly Berkshire Harvest in Lanesboro, MA. (berkshireharvest.com). I am currently enjoying their grade A light amber--a half gallon jug. I love the decorative bottles they use. They also have expanded over the years and have a store stocked with some great items. The location is great also-at the base of Mount Greylock--the highest point in Massachusetts.

It has the best dark amber around!

Surprising that not one VT one was selected!?!? Must not have had any true New Englanders on the panel! Seems the majority of people today prefer the darker grade B (table syrup), while the old time VT/NH/ME natives favor the best-of-the-best Grade A Light Fancy (As I do), which has a more delicate maple flavor, terrific over vanilla ice cream and with home-made (from scratch!!) pancakes, etc. Anyway, there truly isn't any "bad" maple syrup, just subtleties to discover as folks educate their palate! Enjoy!

And you are right - there truly isn't any bad maple syrup!! I cannot believe I've gotten to April 3 without any sugar on snow.

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Sun, 22 Mar 2009 19:33:07 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/food/maplesyrup We searched for the best maple syrup for our website, RegionalBest.com, featuring regional foods produced by artisans and other small producers from across the country.

Our maple syrup is always bought from Maple Corner Farm.

Wether its Spring, Summer or Fall it\'s a great place to visit and sample their product for a bite to eat for breakfast or lunch. I like the Amber Grade B the best. It has a great true flavor on pancakes but is best when used in baking, like when I make my Old Fashioned Vermont Apple Pies and my Sour Cream Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Pies. It\'s also out of this world with some butter and a dash of nutmeg on mashed sweet potatoes or butternut squash too.

Interesting to read about the harvesting of maple syrup. Thanks, Edie, for another great story.

No you won\'t fall off the edge of the world when you pass the Mt. Washington Auto Road, but you do enter a different way of living.

The absolute best came by chance, some years ago, when I stopped at a house by the road in Jeffersonville, VT. There Mrs Connie Edwards was selling some jugs of her son\'s \"Edwards Family Sugar House\" maple syrup. She gave me directions to a local covered bridge her grandfather helped to build, and an old mill nearby. I left with a couple of jugs of their Grade-A Dark Amber. It\'s incomparable, with a lurking almost-acidic tang that tempers the intense sweetness. The flavor is unique and marvelous. I\'ve been back since and always carry away some for me and some for friends. I\'ve never had anything like it. Their grove should be a national heritage.
